Has Steve ever finished a campaign?  Not sarcastic, just curious.

If I remember correctly, the Solarian Empires campaign came to a satisfying close. The world wasn't "done", but the interesting threads were pretty much resolved.

The only Aurora campaign I can think of that actually had a definite conclusion is Kurt's Six Powers Campaign. Haji's From the Ashes ended prematurely, but he gave a pretty detailed plan of how he would have wanted to proceed and ultimately end. There might be some others, especially since I don't know of many outside of these forums. Aurora really isn't made to force an ending to a game if the player doesn't have one planned out. Unless you straight out lose (which is pretty rare for an experienced player), it can and will go on until the game gets so slow you give up.

Yes, that is what I meant.  Thank you.

Well, define "finish". Finishing an Aurora campaign can mean a lot of things, and depending on definition might not actually be possible. If I understand you correctly though, I don't think that he has finished one. He usually (afaik, I could be wrong) uses them to test out new features and bugtest, and moves on to a new campaign when the current one no longer lets him test what he wants to. I think.

Unfortunately, Steve has moved on from this campaign. You can follo his new one, however

Fascinating AAR. I would love to read a new part now!  :)

Steve mentioned in the changes discussion thread that the Swarm had gravsurvey ships, so I would assume they are jump capable. They already (slowly) expand in VB6, so it wouldn't be a huge change.

Edit: Just realized that the mentioned post was made after DEEPenergy's question, so they probably already saw it.

Will the Swarm be jump capable

An option for it would indeed be nice. It'd make for an interesting challenge. Then again it might impede on the role the extra galactic invaders are supposed to fulfil.

Good grief, those slimy Ophidian monstrosities seem waaaay more vicious than previous incarnations. Can you give some details of the acid weapons - does the residual effect have limited duration, or are there ways to counter it once hit? Also cool to see the AI using EM weapons.

You mentioned they gain bioenergy via mining - do they have installations or ground forces, or is this done via asteroid mining modules?

Definitely looking forward to this!

Am I missing something, or has Steve not posted the design of the Majestic-class battleships -- other than the blurb "an enlarged version of the Royal Sovereign with a displacement of 18,750 tons?"

The naming of the new dimension as the "aether" would probably get confusing as the luminiferous aether was still the prevailing theory for the propagation of light during this time. lol.
